In-home training can be a rewarding (and lucrative) career choice, but you have to set your own environment. Just like any coaching, you can get burnt out if you’re not careful.

One of the best parts about IFASTU is the questions you all ask. It gets us thinking about things we’ve either taken for granted or maybe even forgotten. I always find it helpful to revisit old topics because now I can look at them with fresh eyes.

Most successful gym owners are successful by relying on the things that made them a good coach in their first place. They prioritize their personal brand, stand by what they believe, and — most importantly — get people results while having fun.

There may come a time in the gym owner’s life where they’re ready to hire someone new. How can they help ensure continued success of their business if they relinquish some of the control?

It’s a scary step, for sure… if you don’t have the right people on board.

In this Q&A, we discussed how to develop other coaches. How can you help young coaches gain the wisdom they need to be successful?

If you’ve got any other tips, throw them in a comment below. I know you all have a lot of good things to say and it would be a shame if you kept all those nuggets a secret.

I wouldn’t take a linebacker and expect him to be a good distance runner.

People generally gravitate towards activities they are better at doing. People who like to run long distances might already possess more movement variability, allowing them to excel at running. The converse is true for people who gravitate towards powerlifting: they might have LESS movement variability and therefore do “better” under heavy loads.

Though systems like the human body are complex, they are still mutable. These systems can indeed experience large effects from small changes. “A butterfly flaps its wings…”

Why is movement any different than any other quality we train in the gym?

Uncertainty can drive a pattern. If your client doesn’t feel confident in what they’re doing, sometimes you can just give them a compliment to change it.

We could sit and discuss all of the complex neuroscience going into why that works, but we don’t really know. What we CAN do is take that information and consider it the next time that client walks in the door. Getting to know your people can go a long way.

Today many kids seem to be lacking in flexibility and mobility, should an extensive period of time be spent on trying to develop these skills?

Absolutely, we’ll always take the first 10 to 15 minutes to not only develop mobility and flexibility but also rhythm and coordination. And that should be the starting point, if a kid is lacking in these skills they have to be built first. Exercises you can use: various resets, some stretching, skipping, lunging, etc.
